The significance of work and leisure as elements of our social
fabric have puzzled philosophers and social scientists for
generations. This ambitious new study considers historical views of
work and leisure alongside contemporary survey evidence about
time-use and well-being. Combining sophisticated theoretical
analysis with empirical research, the book presents a contrarian
argument that defines leisure as a serious and stimulating
challenge rather than an unqualified benefit or good. This is vital
reading for anyone with an interest in the concept of time in the
social sciences, work-life balance, organisational studies, or the
history, philosophy, or sociology of work and leisure.
